  • NOVEMBER 2020 from the Editor
    NOVEMBER 2020 From The Editor ith COVID-19 pandemic engulfing the world and continuing to cause illness and demises all around, “Unprecedented” is the word Wthat we have heard a lot in the past few months. The governments around the world have taken “unprecedented” measures to shut down their economies by closing stores and ordering citizens to shelter-in-place in order to combat the pandemic. Undoubtedly it has had a devastating impact on markets and economies, and driven unemployment rates through the roof. In the midst of fighting the worst health crisis the world has seen in 100 years, central banks, fiscal authorities, and international organisations mobilised to take extraordinary steps to respond to the market distress. The novel coronavirus pandemic has put us all through a situation—which has risen for the first time in the recent history of the planet—that triggered the largest industrial shutdown since the World War II. From factories being shuttered to airlines being grounded and borders sealed. It is for the very first time that Oil producers are paying suppliers to take excess oil due to lack of storage capacity. It can be called the ‘Great Lockdown’ recession and is the worst since the SHILPA GUPTA Great Depression of the 1930s, where the developed countries are likely to post DIRECTOR, WBR Corp a negative growth rate of around 6 per cent. It has been estimated by the World Food Programme (WFP) that around 265 million people in low- and middle- income countries could face starvation by the end of 2020. In the 21st century, with all the connectivity and technology at our command, it would be a colossal human tragedy and a shame on the whole world.
